Do you find it difficult to stay motivated? Are you looking for something that will inspire you to break through the struggle and pursue your dreams?

I think we've all faced those times, and there's no shame in admitting it.

Here are some phrases that successful people say to themselves every day. Next time you're feeling tired, unmotivated or flat-out discouraged, try telling yourself these ten things. Better yet, make it a habit to tell yourself these things on a daily basis, and you'll end up being a happier, healthier person.

Start the slideshow to see the ten things successful people tell themselves every day.

"Things will get better."

Negative thoughts require more mental RAM than positive ones. They take longer to get over and generate much more powerful emotions.

So, start each day with positive thoughts and break out of your negative thought patterns. Write down three things you are thankful for on sticky notes and put them on your mirror or office planner. Then, look at them those positive notes throughout the day to remind yourself of the good things in life.

"Say hello."

Isolation breeds discontent and loneliness. It also creates a work life that is detrimental to your creativity and collaboration.

Life and business are team sports, and we need other people to succeed.

Everyone in your office has something to offer, so get out of your comfort zone and be social throughout the day. You will likely learn something you never knew before. Who knows, taking the time out of your day to say hello to someone else could lead to making a new friend, future business partner or even spouse.

"Let it go."

To be successful and stay motivated even when the world seems like it is caving in, you have to know when to let something go.

When things are not going your way or if a problem arises, accept it, do what you can and then let it go. The quicker you are able to forgive yourself and others, the quicker you can focus your attention and energy on the present moment.

"Celebrate."

The small victories in the workplace are just as important as the big ones, and psychologically, they will make you feel better about your contributions and purpose in the workplace. So, don't just dismiss a win when you get one, even if it's a small one.

Conclusion

At some point, we all feel the burden of our worklife. We get tired and need change.

But, you can teach yourself to be happy even when things don't go as you expect them to be by positively reinforcing yourself throughout the day. It's going to take a little time to form these empowering habits, but when you do, you'll be able to take on anything at work and walk away knowing that you were successful.
